Selling a House? 5 Reasons You Should Do It Now!




Many are talking about why now is a great time to buy a home. Today, we want to look at why it might also be an opportune time to sell your house. Here are the Top 5 Reasons we believe now may be a perfect time to put your house on the market.
1.) Demand Is High
Homes are selling at the fastest pace since November 2009 when the market spiked in response to the home buyer tax credit. The most recent Existing Home Sales Report by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) showed that monthly sales increased 9.7% over the same month last year. Total sales have been above year-ago levels for 22 consecutive months. There are buyers out there right now (buyer traffic is 31 percent stronger than a year ago) and they are serious about purchasing.
2.) Supply Is Beginning to Increase
Total housing inventory last month rose 11.9% to 2.16 million homes for sale. This represents a 5.2-month supply at the current sales pace, compared with 4.3 months in January. Many expect inventory to continue to rise as more sellers escape the shackles of negative equity. Selling now while demand is high and before supply increases may garner you your best price.
3.) New Construction Is Coming Back
Over the last several years, most homeowners selling their home did not have to compete with a new construction project around the block. As the market is recovering, more and more builders are jumping back in. These ‘shiny’ new homes will again become competition as they are an attractive alternative for many purchasers.
4.) Interest Rates Are Rising
According to Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey, interest rates for a 30-year mortgage have shot up to 3.98% which represents a jump of more than ½ point since the beginning of the year. Even those trying to be the voice of reason on this issue are projecting higher rates. For example, Polyana da Costa, senior mortgage analyst at Bankrate.com said:
“Rates are unlikely to keep going up so quickly and should remain below 5%.”
Whether you are moving up or moving down, your housing expense will be more a year from now if a mortgage is necessary to purchase your next home.
5.) It’s Time to Move On with Your Life
Look at the reason you are thinking about selling and decide whether it is worth waiting. Is the possibility of a few extra dollars more important than being with family; more important than your health; more important than having the freedom to go on with your life the way you think you should?
You already know the answers to the questions we just asked. You have the power to take back control of your situation by putting the house on the market today. The time may have come for you and your family to move on and start living the life you desire. That is what is truly important.
As always – we’re here to help – give me a call and let me know what I can do for you!

Helping Rebuild West



Often we find hope in the midst of tragedy. The plant explosion in West, TX earlier this year brought devastation and destruction to the small town and the despair was felt not only in the small knit community, but throughout the state of Texas. As the news spread, people from all over immediately joined together to begin collecting supplies and resources to send to the city and its people. Several months later, the generosity and camaraderie continues.

The Texas Builders Foundation, Stylecraft Builders, the Texas Association of Builders, and the Heart of Texas Builders Association have joined together to build a home for a home builders association member whose home was destroyed in the blast. Construction on the home is expected to begin in September and should be completed by December 2013, in time to spend Christmas in the new home!

The people of West, TX have not been forgotten. Check back to find updates on this particular home that is being built by the efforts of citizens that are dedicated to bringing hope and healing to our neighbors in West!
